Mon - congratulations and welcome!!! Just so you know, I still check every time I wipe ... and yes, still get odd cramps and things, and I especially did a few weeks back. It is an exciting and nervous time being pregnant, when the journey here hasnt been easy. The ladies here are so helpful and supportive.
Devon-I had a teary emotional day yesterday...was at lunch with a friend and she said something which seemed to hit a raw nerve and I nearly burst into tears!
our scan is tomorrow at 9am. we get another confirmation our little Flicker is growing strong, despite these silly old slow-rising HCG levels of mine! Each week to me feels like another milestone...and another step closer to being into a safer zone
I have had headaches the last few days and felt a bit queasy today and BBs still really sore...I just keep talking to our little one and telling them how much I love them already and to keep growing nice and strong for mummy and daddy
Early on (week 4 -5) I had really bad shooting pain "down there" - almost doubled over. But that passed.
No morning sickness at all until about 2 weeks ago, but only first thing - ok after I get up and have a cup of tea.
My boobs have their good days and their bad. Some time super sensitive and sore and then some days they feel completely normal. So don't stress if they calm down a bit.
I too have super sensitive smell - cannot even be in the same state as someone who had garlic and onion the night before. (ok - over exagerrating, but you know what I mean). Sensitive to both good and bad smells.
I have had a craving for chinese food - I haven't touch the stuff since I was a child. I'm normally a Thai/Indian curry girl - at the moment there is nothing more appealing than a big fat serve of sweet and sour pork, fried rice and san choi bow.
The first scan is both nerve wracking (the weeks leading up to it) and a joy. The first time you see the heart beat you will fall in love. Every time you see it after that you'll fall a little bit harder.
I'm super tired all the time and really need to start finding the energy to exercise otherwise I will be way way way overweight by May next year.
These are just my experiences so far - almost 11weeks - not that far along, but it feels like it has been ages.
Anyway- let us know when you have come up with a nickname for the little one.
I check every time I go to the loo and almost hold by breath each time
As for the 3 weeks they will fly and when you see that heart beat for the first time it's something that you will never forget.
It is so great to finally be pregnant too but I agree that you learn soooooo much about TTC that when you are pregnant it's almost like walking in the dark.
You take care of yourself and that growing bubba and ask all the questions you want.
The ladies in here are the greatest.
AFM, seeing OB tomorrow afternoon so am really excited about that. Have no idea what happens at the first visit but I hope we can have another scan...
Will check in latter ladies for more personals...belly rubs to everyone!!
Welcome and congrats Mon! fantastic to see you over here! i so agree on the "knowing it all about TTC but lost about pg front" - i rang up today to get an appointment with the Dr we are thinking of going through - figured seeing i was told to have an appointment about 10 weeks to arrange NT scan, it was a good idea to book early. normally she only has about a week wait - but no, she's not avalable until Nov 17th!! so i've booked the appointment, but am unsure whether to go with her (the hosp she delivers through is 60k's away) or try to find someone more local (other hospy is 30ks) - but the dr we would have gone through there has left the area, and i'm clueless as to who to see! and seeing we dont' want to share with people IRL til after 12 weeks, it's bloody hard to find out who to go through!! grrrrrr
sorry for the lack of personals - feeling really tired today and can't seem to focus real well! names are getting jumbled in my head!
Woohoo Congrats again Mon! Those levels are absolutely fantastic and just show that your super emby is doing perfect and growing strong! The cramping is also normal i think i had it up until about 8 weeks, which doesn't help the wiping compulsion when it feels like AF is about to arrive! 3 weeks is a long time to wait for a scan you poor thing! And ask away! i am so happy you are here!
Nixon - I love those cravings! Yumm mine were nowhere near exciting fruit and olives.
Possums - Good luck tomorrow morning can't wait to hear how everything goes!
Devon- :hugs: ahh the joys, hope everythign is okay and they are just pregnancy hormones giving you a hard time, but huge hugs!
Janie - Hope your cramping eases up.
Luckystrike - Your shopping plan sounds perfect! How much longer until you hit 12 weeks?
Huge ladies and i hope everyone is having a good week.
